Title: post removed about cheap BTC Post by: erschiessen on March 20, 2013, 01:42:41 PM I am curious as to the removal of a recent thread about cheap BTC.
Is the website that is selling them a scam? They seem to sell all kinds of stuff related to web-based games and such. I don't want to post the link - the one posted links to another site... Anyone?

Why would they sell cheap if they can get full price at any exchange... Title: Re: post removed about cheap BTC Post by: CapeCodRob on March 20, 2013, 01:52:02 PM Someone has been trolling the chats....advertising that they are paying $60.00 for 3.1 BTC.
If it sounds too good to be true...it usually is. Just saying. Be safe and Happy Bitcoining.

Why would it be different with bitcoin?
Title: Re: post removed about cheap BTC Post by: erschiessen on March 20, 2013, 02:16:40 PM Sure, no doubt about it... But people do set up sales of stuff, then later the value of said stuff increases or decreases.
I don't wish sound thick, nor do I want to seem like I am pimping for a potential scam. If they only dealt in BTC, I would definitely agree. The website accepts Paypal, credit cards... I think that affords some protection. Is there a comprehensive list of scam-sites somewhere on this forum? A 'Hall Of Shame?'
